Branched chain fatty acids are substrates for cytochrome P450(BM3) (CYP102) from Bacillus megaterium; oxidation of C15 and C17 iso and anteiso fatty acids by P450(BM3) leads to the formation of hydroxylated products that possess high levels of regiochemical and stereochemical purity.

Previous studies suggested that fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and branched short-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) are associated with glucose regulation. However, the potential relationship between circulating SCFAs and BCFAs with incident diabetes risk in both men and women remains unidentified in prospective cohort studies. In this study, we examined a panel of nine serum SCFAs and BCFAs in 3414 subjects with incident diabetes, and matched normoglycemic controls from the China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort study.

Pullulan (E 1204) is obtained by fermentation of a food-grade hydrolysed starch with non-genetically modified ■■■■■. Based on the available information, the Panel considered that the manufacturing process of pullulan (E 1204) using this microorganism does not raise a safety concern.

Recent advances have highlighted the crucial role of metabolic reprogramming in shaping the functions of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), which are vital for tissue immunity and homeostasis. As tissue-resident cells, ILCs dynamically respond to local environmental cues, with tissue-derived metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and amino acids directly modulating their effector functions. The metabolic states of ILC subsets-ILC1, ILC2, and ILC3-are closely linked to their ability to produce cytokines, sustain survival, and drive proliferation.

Plant epicuticular waxes (EW) play a critical role in defending against biotic and abiotic stresses. Notably, onions () present a distinctive case where the mutant with defect in leaf and stalk EW showed resistance to thrips compared with the wild type with integral EW. We identified a premature stop codon mutation in the gene, an ortholog of gene in that has been proved essential for the biosynthesis of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), in the onions with glossy leaf and stalks in our experiments.

Background: Probiotics supplementations have been regarded as an effective strategy for colitis treatment. However, the effect of Li01 on benzo[]pyrene (BaP)-induced colitis in Mongolian gerbils remains unclear. In this study, we leverage a BaP-induced model of colitis that exhibits significant remission following Li01 intervention, to conduct an animal experiment that integrates histopathological assessment, inflammatory cytokines, 16S rRNA sequencing, targeted metabolomic profiling to investigate the relationship between Li01, gut microbiota, and colitis.
